YET TO GO

A dawn's early gaze

Over an ocean's lazy haze

Awakening an osprey in his nest

To another days bountiful fest

A nations flag on its pole shall rise

Serene in its cities’ skies

A placid morning is all we own

The seeds of a mighty plant just sown

Before we face life-looking like an old crone

and before being blown into a full blown cyclone

Back to its nest is the mother unruffles

Feeding its breath, keeping its sound muffled

The sun is out in his fiery force

Just as we begin life's main course

To find ourselves the best we can

In every endeavor of our life span

With the journey yet to be undertaken

I can only hope it is not all forsaken


A nations flag on its pole shall rise

Serene in its cities’ skies

A placid morning is all we own

The seeds of a mighty plant just sown

Before we face life-looking like an old crone

and before being blown into a full blown cyclone

Back to its nest is the mother unruffles

Feeding its breath, keeping its sound muffled

The sun is out in his fiery force

Just as we begin life's main course

To find ourselves the best we can

In every endeavor of our life span

With the journey yet to be undertaken

I can only hope it is not all forsaken
